Stay on the Tracks

TriJam 229 theme was "Keep on the rails". I envisioned switching a rail hand cart between tracks to avoid oncoming steam trains. With three hours to develop, compromises were made, so switching tracks was instant. I put in a simple parallax effect to give the illusion of motion, together with simple hand cart animation.

Instructions

Use W and S to move the cart up and down to avoid oncoming trains. Use A and D to speed up or slow down the cart.

Development

I created and designed all the animations, vector graphics and game code. No AI images or code were used in this project.

Feedback is welcome.

Update: I spent an extra hour of development time fixing some bugs and minor improvements.

Final Update:

After feedback from the game jam

Added a "Time lasted" to see how well you have done.
Change the music during the game

Thank you to all that gave feed back

Bugs

There are many flaws, but with little time to fix them. Known issues

Trains can spawn on top of each other[mostly fixed in the final update]
Sometimes train frequency will be impossible to avoid [fixed with the second update].
